Fifteen per cent, along with RI and Mass.



So glad I live here.

1. And Hawaii.

But wow. all these stereotypical beliefs about New Jersey...

[NJCher]

2. yep, one of the reasons I posted it

We also have one of the lowest gun death rates and one of the lowest suicide rates. But, of course, those two items couldn't possibly be related.



Thanks for adding HI. I missed that one.

8. My wife was from Staten Island. NJ took her (via California).

6. Shhhhhh..........

We're also the most densely populated state - so we want people to continue thinking we're a stinky dirty , polluted place populated by gangsters and illiterate nasty undesirables.

7. Growing up on Long Island, I thought this; then circumstances called on me to move here. NJ is nirvana. Shhhhh...

9. I grew up in Queens

on the Nassau County border - thought the same thing. My husband grew up in NJ. When employment circumstances deemed it necessary to move here I went kicking and screaming! Some of my NYC friends said that they would refuse to cross the river to visit me. (they were just teasing)

It was culture shock indeed, but in a good way.

10. My wife cried when we left California. "I can't believe we're...

...moving to New Jersey."

Now I could never convince her to go back to California, even if I wanted to do so, which of course I don't.

4. Interesting. Would have thought Florida, etc., would be more but. Depends on how it's determined.
